You never know where help will come from...
...and when it will come to you. I told you earlier that Rick took March's alimony and rather than sending it to me in two payments this month, he sent the whole thing to my landlord to take care of most of February's rent. Then, tonight, he sent me an email telling me that he has ordered a Kroger (a local grocery store chain) gift card and that it should be coming to me in the mail within the next few days. I was so touched by that, he didn't have to do it and I'm very grateful to him. I could say that none of this ever would have happened if he hadn't left me in the first place, but after all I've been through, I'm just happy that he's there now, willing to help me out above and beyond what he's been ordered to do for me.
As bright as I am about some things, when it comes to taking care of stupid little things, I'm clueless. During all the time that we were together, he was the one who took care of business, paying the bills and doing the dumb stuff that held our household together. When he left, I was basically helpless...not something that I'm proud of, but the truth none-the-less. The things that most people can handle on a daily basis are difficult for me and I just sit here, pretty much dumbfounded, not quite sure how to handle the seemingly easiest of tasks.
I'm suppose to have a drug and alcohol evaluation done by Wednesday and I can't seem to figure out a way to have it done. First of all, it costs $75 that I don't have and there's no place within walking distance so that I could get there. My friend Melissa has an idea that I'm going to look into in the morning so I'm going to hope for the best as far as that goes.
Melissa's smart AND has common sense and she's been taking care of herself for so long and everything that she's been through has turned her into a true survivor so I'm sure that I could learn a lot from her and I'm more than sure that she will be able to help me figure this one out.
I was wrong about having to go to my probation officer tomorrow...I was mixed up on the dates. I have to go on either the first or second Monday or Tuesday of the month and this is just the first week of the month so I have until next Tuesday to get that done. I would have preferred to get it out of the way this week but after having that dirty urine, I was freaked that it might still be in my system because it can stay there for up to 30 days and it hasn't been that long yet. I'd truly hate to go to jail twice for smoking the same joint. That would just blow. I doubt that it would still be there now, but obviously, I don't have the kind of luck that would be conducive to taking any chances.
Oh! I saw on the television guide that the last movie that I worked on is already out on Pay Per View. It's called The Gospel and stars Boris Kudjoe. I never know when the movies I work on will come out...I just wait until I see the commercials and then I know. Well, I never saw the commercials for this movie so I was still waiting. We finished the movie last spring so I expected to hear about it soon. Well, it's seems as though this one went straight to video/Pay Per View. I didn't order it, I can't afford silly things like that but I hope it comes out on free TV soon because there's a scene in it with just me and one of the stars so I would be able to see myself easily enough. Unfortunately, I also worked as the medical advisor on the film and before I realized the implications of what I was doing, I told the director that, under the circumstances, the nurse would be wearing a mask. So, the one scene that had a close up of me and I masked my own stupid face. You would recognize me if you knew to look for me, but if not, you couldn't just be watching the movie and say, "Oh look! There's Meg!" I'm also curious to see if they gave me a credit as the medical advisor.
Well, I'm getting tired so I'm going to bed now. It stills smells like apple but that's OK, apple is better than many other potential bed odors. OK, I'll beback in the morning.
